Improve method of file sharing.
- Assigned to: Fr. Pangloss

Goal
Update calendar to have RSS feed working
- Assigned to: Pangloss
- Current Status: Complete (7/1)
- Fr. Fetter and I have agreed to take him off this task. I am presently looking for new delegates. I've also approached the old webmaster (Sr. D. R.) about getting information about the calendar software. --Frater MΠAA (5/2/08)
- Sr. D. R. has provided me with source code and MySQL schemas for the calendar, and has agreed to code a solution IF we can develop a spec. All files (including our Skype conversation) are available upon request. --Frater MΠAA (6/14/08)
- Delegated to Pangloss. --Frater MΠAA (7/2/08)
- I've restored the functionality of the former RSS feed, though it's uncertain how useful this is. Most likely this will be taken further refined in the updated software used for iCal exporting --Pangloss (2008-07-07)
Goal
Update calendar to have robust iCal export functionality, to include the ability to point gCal to a URL for regular updates.
- Assigned to: Pangloss
- Current Status: Beta Testing
- Fr. Fetter and I have agreed to take him off this task. I am presently looking for new delegates. I've also approached the old webmaster (Sr. D. R.) about getting information about the calendar software. --Frater MΠAA (5/2/08)
- Sr. D. R. has provided me with source code and MySQL schemas for the calendar, and has agreed to code a solution IF we can develop a spec. All files (including our Skype conversation) are available upon request. --Frater MΠAA (6/14/08)
- The committee has decided that the most effective way to do this, and to accomplish other calendar-related tasks, is to replace the calendar. This task has been delegated to Pangloss. --Frater MΠAA (7/2/08)
- Rather than further customizing what is now outdated software, we're going to move toward using a new package. I've a list of several that can meet our needs and will be comparing them during the course of this month. --Pangloss (2008-07-07)
- No change. Aiming for at least one beta install by EOM --Pangloss (2008-08-12)
- If we have a beta install, can we link to it from here? Thanks. --Frater MΠAA (9/3/08)
- WebCalendar meets all of our needs. I've installed it and ported all data from old calendar into the new one. Now someone needs to skin it and fit it into the wiki in place of the old one. iCal feed is available at http://webcal.sekhetmaat.com/public.ics , though Google Calendar doesn't accept the contents. --Pangloss (2008-09-03)
- This calendar doesn't meet our needs if it doesn't work with Google Calendar. We will need to research to see if a fix is available. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 18:09, 6 September 2008 (PDT)
Goal
Put together a list of requirements for the calendar as a tool for seeking new software.
- Assigned to: Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ
- Current Status: Complete
- In progress. Expect an update in August. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 15:01, 3 May 2008 (EDT)
- No progress on this yet. --Fr. HydraLVX 20:32, 15 April 2008 (EDT)
- What is this goal supposed to be, exactly? Is this just a blank space? If so, could we please delete it? Thanks. --Frater MΠAA (9/3/08)
- Check the history. It had been apparently clobbered somehow by myself on May 3 and is now fixed. --Fr. ΝΘΛΜΚΜΝΡΓ 18:09, 6 September 2008 (PDT)
Goal

- Assigned to: Fr. MΠAA
